Ampersand at "Alas" Rebuts Anti-Gay Claims of "No Basis"

Robert Lerner and Althea Nagai seek to discredit 49 peer-reviewed studies supporting gay adoptions in the document No Basis (pdf). Ampersand at Alas, a Blog writes:

Lerner and Nagai claim that studies of same-sex parenting don't meet minimum standards of scientific respectability. But are the standards they put forward ones they genuinely believe in, or are they standards that Lerner and Nagai opportunistically take on for the specific purpose of rejecting same-sex parenting studies?

Amp looks at a 1996 study done by Lerner himself and finds that "this study flunks the standards advocated in No Basis." Read the rest at the link.
